Ok, so I would like to talk about something that I believe should happen in any development process. Whether it be games, cars, appliances, even things like blogs. When you start to develop anything, you should have every intention of creating something that is almost flawless, has no problems, and it something that people will want and enjoy. This is the case with most things, but not with some. The most successful games are ones that people enjoy, and that you will respond to feedback and change things in the future. Now, there are two types of games in this way. Updated, and straight released. Updated games are ones that the company updates, fixes and changes based on the community feedback. Straight release games are ones that the company releases, and then doesn't look at it ever again. When you want to do this sort of style, you need to beta test a ton, and make sure everything is perfect before releasing it. While this happens well in some cases, others fail miserably.
The game mentioned in the title is no other than Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing. This game is so incredibly awful, no game compares to it. It has the lowest score on any game on multiple review series. It seems like the developers just decided to spit in the face of anyone who bought the game. They wanted money, and the probably made a profit, based on the fact that the game's budget was most likely somewhere around $50. I can't do justice to how bad this game is, so I'll let you watch how bad it is. Some key features include the ability to drive up mountains, the fact that the A.I. doesn't work so there is no one to race against, you can go as fast as you want while driving backwards in circles, and of course the best possible message when you win is "You're Winner"! You're Winner. That's all that needs to be said...
I enjoyed reading this, and now I know NOT to play big rigs.
